Abstract
FOSTER, Department of Geography, University of Victoria, British Columbia Canada writes that cancer and heart disease display spatial patterns suggesting the possible involvement of calcium and selenium deficiencies and mercury excess in their aetiologies. As a result, longevity tends to be most common in regions where the environment is calcium- and selenium-enriched and contains only low levels of mercury . The author cites examples from West Africa, China, England and the USA.
